This voltage controlled Solidtron (VCS) discharge switch
utilizes an n-type MOS-Controlled Thyristor mounted on a
ThinPakTM, ceramic "chip-scale" hybrid.
The VCS features the high peak current capability and low On-
state voltage drop common to SCR thyristors combined with
extremely high dI/dt capability. This semiconductor is intended
for the control of high power circuits with the use of very small
amounts of input energy and is ideally suited for capacitor
discharge applications.
The ThinPak
TM
Package is a perforated, metalized ceramic
substrate attached to the silicon using 302
o
C solder. An epoxy
underfill is applied to protect the high voltage termination from
debris. All exterior metal surfaces are tinned with 63pb/37sn
solder providing the user with a circuit ready part. It's small
size and low profile make it extremely attractive to high dI/dt
applications where stray series inductance must be kept to a
minimum.
